Paris winger Angel Di Maria, replacing for the resumption, will know his first tenure of the season in L1 in Rennes, as the side Thomas Meunier who benefits from the package of Thilo Kehrer, Sunday for the second day.
The Argentinian has already scored two goals in this exercise, during the Champions Trophy and against Nimes, but each time, he saw the kickoff as a substitute. His return relegates the Spaniard Pablo Sarabia on the bench.
In defense, in the absence of Kehrer, Presnel Kimpembe and Layvin Kurzawa, coach Thomas Tuchel has renewed his hinge Thiago Silva - Abdou Diallo, with, in the right lane, the Belgian Meunier and on the left, Juan Bernat.
Unsurprisingly, Kylian Mbappé and Edinson Cavani, scorers for the first day, will lead the Parisian squad, still deprived of his superstar Neymar, in Rennes, an opponent who has caused problems in recent months.
The Breton coach Julien Stéphan has relaunched confidence in the 5-3-2 which helped to snatch a valuable victory in Montpellier last weekend (1-0). Eduardo Camavinga, the 16-year-old nugget, is present in the middle alongside Clément Grenier and Benjamin Bourigeaud.
Composition of the teams:
Rennes: Salin - H. Traore, Da Silva (cape), Gelin, Morel, Maouassa - Bourigeaud, Camavinga, Grenier - M. Niang, Del Castillo
Paris SG: Areola - Miller, T. Silva (cap), A. Diallo, Bernat - Verratti, Marquinhos - Di Maria, Draxler, Mbappé - Cavani
